PROFESSOR EVERETT C. MARSTON Aclviior CAULDRON — NEWS

Page 8 text:

DEDICATION Professor Everett C. Marston plays croquette with a ruthless and cunning passion that appears at odds with his placid nature. He loves long walks, barefooted, on the sands of Duxbury ' s beach. He relished having NEWS and CAULDRON people down to his Duxbury home for a day at the beach and to wash the dishes. He enjoys a cold beer on a hot sununer day. And he cherishes his little black Volkswagon with a pride which surpasses understanding. But this is the day of the hard-nosed, the socially indiflFerent, the emotionally- calloused, and a yearbook dedication should never tell anything about the person to whom it is being dedicated; it should be pregnant with pretty phrases, cute epithets, and prepared cliches. Professor Marston marches to a different drummer, and he would want a dedica- tion in his honor, as retiring advisor to the NEWS and CAULDRON, to foUow that path. He is quietly humorous when the time is ripe; seditiously sarcastic when the time is ripe; and when his heart is touched by a bit of sadness or tragedy concerning one of his charges, the eyes of this man of spiritual hardiness fill with unashamed tears. He, more so than most men, takes getting used to; for it is hard to believe in a person of truly genuine feelings; in a man who, when he asks you how you are, really ca res. He is slow to judge for he realizes that we are not all we seem to be; that we have lived with fear and pity for so long it is hard to experience them any more. It can truly be said of him that he lives through his heart, loves through his soul and judges through his mind. [4]

President ' s Message To the Class of I960: Although I ha e served as President for only one year, I am happy to have become acquainted with several mem- b-rs of the Class of I960. If these students are any criterion of the quality of the entire class, I have every confidence that as graduates }ou w 11 uphold Northeastern ' s proudest traditions of service. The Cla:s of I960 is fortunate in many respects. In a p:riod of great scientific and social advances more and greater opportunities — and also greater responsibilities — lie before you than have faced any previous class in the University ' s history. The breadth of understanding, knowledge, and proven capacity to learn, which you have acquired under North- eastern ' s special pian of education, will help you to cope effectively with the complex world in which we live today. The best proof of the broad education you receive, however, is your open and inquiring mind. If you have dis- covered and developed an ability to think. Northeastern has fulfilled the basic purpose for its existence as well as its pledge to you as freshmen five years ago. May I extend my best wishes for your future success. DR. ASA S.
